“A devotional on how comparison robs joy and how scripture guides us back to contentment, gratitude, and the purpose God designed for us.”

In Cherishing the Beauty God Created, we explore what it truly means to honor the beauty God placed within us—body, mind, and spirit. Drawing from Scripture and inspired by Katherine Anne Porter’s words, this devotional reminds us that caring for ourselves isn’t vanity but stewardship. When we protect and nurture the beauty God created, we reflect His glory in our daily lives. Learn how faith, self-care, and gratitude work together to restore the peace and purpose God intende

Have you ever noticed how laughter can lift your mood, even on the toughest days? Proverbs 17:22 reminds us that “a cheerful heart is good medicine.” Joy has the power to restore and renew—but when our spirit is crushed, it can drain us physically and emotionally. In this post, we explore how joy helps us heal, why guarding our hearts matters, and how to cultivate lasting joy through gratitude, God’s Word, and simple pleasures.
